Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America's Ruling Class, Finally Dies
  • My point wasn't that single people can't be bad, or do bad things, but ultimately to perform terrible acts at scale it requires buy-in from other people. Without support, whether it be through fear, coercion, or otherwise, it's nothing more than intrusive thoughts.

    Hitler was a bad dude but it took a concerted effort by who knows how many people in order to make the sick stuff that happened a reality.

    All the names he listed were indeed bad dudes, but I feel saying Kissinger stands out because he had the support of the government while the others just killed millions by themselves is not a fair assessment of what transpired.

  • Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America's Ruling Class, Finally Dies
  • You think because the names you listed were leaders of their countries doesn't make them part of a greater evil? No one person commits atrocities alone; there must be some backing.

    One single name doesn't get to make decisions... There must be a greater body at play. There has to be support of some sort, otherwise the people would have just said no, and killed that person.

  • It is now illegal to use the Nazi salute in Victoria and police are warning they will take action if they see it
  • I'm conflicted on this. On one hand Nazis were fucking shitty people, and Neo-Nazis are shitheads too. On the other hand, freedom of speech/expression is super important. Even for these shitbirds.

    Like, I don't know for sure, doesn't Australia have freedom of speech and stuff? If the people (even non-Nazis) don't say anything about this, then is it possible the government will start banning other shit? Like flipping the bird.

    But also, yeah, fuck those guys.

  • youtube getting more agressive blocking users after 3 videos
  • My buddy reported that he started getting blocked using uBlock starting today.

    I've never had any of the problems, but I have some caveats that may be helpful:

    1. I live in Korea
    2. I use brave browser with no uBlock as it's unnecessary
    3. I also use NextDNS at the router level.

    #3 seems to be of no consequence as I tried using vanilla Chrome and ads played while randomly testing videos

    That leads me to believe #2 or #1 is preventing ads.

    I didn't disable NextDNS since it failed at #3, and I haven't tried VPNing into a U.S. endpoint out of laziness.

    Either #1, or #2 is preventing ads ... I'm inclined to believe it is #2, Brave browser, that is successfully blocking ads; even without VPN, with NextDNS, I was still getting ads in vanilla Chrome.

    I think there is something in Brave browser that is currently overlooked.

    I hope it helps someone
